I made Tuscan Bean Soup the other day from a Pinterest recipe. Was really good and nicely portable for work.

Nothing worked for me until I finally decided and believed that I'm more important than food. That's a principle that I no longer compromise. Figure out what clicks for you and like PP said, one foot in front of the other. Get knocked down, get back up, over and over.

Agree with everyone else. Walking. Didn't care how long it took, just that I got it done. Try 15 minutes. Then try 20, etc. Then I started moving into swimming and water aerobics. Getting into day hiking now and kayaking. My new goal is really variety.

I'm doing this alone too. My hubs is great, but in the end, I'm the one with the jacked up relationship with food and the goals to get myself healthier. No one can do that, but me. MFP - all those likeminded people - that's the community for me.

Chicken fajitas but I don't eat the tortilla. I serve it over salad. Just sautee chicken with tri-colored peppers and onions with low sodium soy sauce. Top with light cheese and some avocado.

Going to assume you're already working an Endo. They should give you a referral to a dietician who can walk you through diet and carb control - how many carbs max to eat at each meal and snack. That helps a lot with meal planning. Imagine how much easier it is if you know 15 carbs at breakfast and snacks and 40 to 70 for…

Several years ago a man exposed himself to me when I went to get my mail early in the morning (had just come home from a trip the night before). When I stepped outside my apartment, in the few seconds it took for me to take in the scene, I knew something wasn't right, but dismissed myself. College-type guy, nice complex,…

Every Monday unless I'm away on vacation and hit a two week span. The daily variances don't matter to me right now so I may change my weekly habit when I lose more weight, but not right now.

If you want to see what's what on your own, rest it, do the NSAIDs or another anti-inflammatory a few times a day, don't sleep on that side, and see what happens. If still bothered where movement is limited and pain persists, call an Ortho. Good luck!

I would do exactly what you described if I didn't find room to fit sweets into my day. I usually eek in some trail mix with M&Ms to get my crunchy sweet fix. I find it much harder to stay on the path I'm committed to if I consume any large quants of junk food. My carb cravings kick in and it's like going into carb detox…

Agree - swimming. Have been doing it all week on vacation and it's been so much fun!

My feet take such a beating with the miles I put on them during the week that I get a pedicure like every 2 to 3 weeks. Full spa version with awesome leg massage.

I've lost about 35lbs since January. Took our son back to the same amusement park we were at New Year's Eve for the 4th. I've always been afraid to get in the rides with him, but knew I'd lost weight, was working out, etc. so I figured go for it. Hopped in with plenty of room to spare! I think sometimes my head is stuck in…

5' 9" and my goal is about 160. Lowest I've ever been is about 150 and I start to look unhealthy after that. I don't have a smaller build (take after my Dad more than my Mom). I got T&A - always have :smile:

I'm in. Klutzy and I stink at lunges, but if I really can't do them will do high knees instead.

I can gain 2 lbs just by opening my eyes I swear. Lots of variations in our diets and our bodies can cause some small gains even when we're doing things right. Just keep doing what you've been doing and ride it out!

Casual food - Sam LaGrassa's for sandwiches. If it's a nice day, take the food to the park. Summer Shack (Boston & Cambridge). Picco on Tremont. Sam LaGrassa's is great for salads and sandwiches - take food out to the park. Summer Shack, Picco, Sal's Pizza, Giacomo's (North End). Recommendations I gave you are OK for…

If I wasn't meant to eat meat then why do I have all of these really great sharp teeth...

A few of mine that get me moving.... Headstrong - Trapt Suffocate - Cold Far From Home - Five Finger Death Punch Lakini's Juice - Live Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine Bad Company - either version, but this one is Five Finger Death Punch The Distance - Cake Stronger - Kanye West Epic - Faith No More Jesus Walks -…

I feel that way too this week, but could swear it's PMS.

MFP is a great forum. Hopefully you're working with an Endocrinologist who can spend more time counseling you on carb management and a more balanced diet to help control your blood sugar and lose weight. The nice thing, it's reversible! You can do it!

I wish I knew.... That using a food diary is a miracle and not a burden That my body is an amazing thing capable of rebounding and recovering from the horrible things I've done to it That when I changed my point of view about food being fuel and not being reward or comfort, my life would change That my head plays such an…

Target Champion line or Old Navy. For ON, I'll scour through the sale rack looking for like $3 t-shirts and tanks.

GREAT SUMMARY

I've had surgery already on 1 foot, but not the other (yet). Bone chilling pain when walking and I was done on the left one. I use foam toe spacers that you can buy on Amazon. They're cheap and can be used alone or you can double them up depending on the space you need to align the toe correctly. Don't get gels - just…

Just ditto to all of this above.

Beautiful!

I'd like to join to. Have about 80 lbs to lose. I've been using MFP for IDK 3 weeks? Good day today, but not always so support and motivation would be nice. :-)

I use Leslie Sansone for workouts at home right off youtube. Great way to start and I'm kind of klutzy so I had to have a routine that was easy to follow where I wouldn't break an ankle. :-) The leg lifts kill me. I curse her. But she has good videos and options for 1 mile on up.
